A/N: I do not own How to Train Your Dragon.

This is my first ever fanfiction, I would love any feedback, positive or negative.


Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, the son of Stoick the Vast, Chief of Berk, had been relentlessly bullied by everyone on Berk, especially Snotlout Jorgenson, a buff boy with an ego the size of Stoick's gut, Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston, twins who had a knack for destruction, and Astrid Hofferson, a fearsome warrior with a short temper. When he met Toothless, a Night Fury, three months ago, he had began to train, keeping his skills hidden. Hiccup had thought his life had turned around, but on the second day of Dragon Training, he saw how wrong he was.

Astrid had just turned around to Hiccup, and yelled, "Is this some kind of a joke to you? Our parents' war is about to become ours! Figure out which side you're on."

Everyone thought that Hiccup would just turn and run, but they were so wrong. Everyone always saw Hiccup as a kind, gentle person, someone without a temper. As they watched, even Snotlout could see the changes in Hiccup's face as the emotion drained, leaving a stony mask and a glare like ice. When he looked up, even Gobber took a step back as he was startled.

Snotlout decided that he would put his cousin back in his place, taking a step forward and raising his fist, but when he met Hiccup's eyes, he froze in fear. He slowly worked up the courage to keep moving forward, hoping that his little cousin would flinch, but Hiccup never did.

Finally, Snotlout threw a punch, only to have Hiccup catch it in his hand. Before anyone knew what had happened, they saw Snotlout drop to the ground with a scream of pain.

With a voice colder than ice, Hiccup stated, "Move aside. I do not want to have to hurt anyone else today."

Everyone stumbled back, as if they were just punched, never had they felt such hatred in a voice before.

Astrid replied, "You have no right to speak against us, Useless, you could never hurt me, I am not as stupid as Snotlout!"

And she charged forward, her trusty axe in hand. She swung it at him, but he dodged the blow. He kicked her back, and she threw the axe that he had made her all those years ago at him. Nobody knew what was coming next, as Hiccup caught the axe, and with one fluid motion, brought it to the ground, shattering it as though it were ice.

As the others looked on in shock, Hiccup coldly stated, "I think that I have proven that I have the right to speak against you. You have made my life Hel for the 15 years, and now you must live with the consequences of what you have done to me. I will be back some day, pray that I will show mercy."

In the stunned silence, Hiccup slowly walked out of the arena, and into the woods.

As he made his way to the cove, the others were still trying to process what had just happened. Snotlout was still sobbing in pain from his snapped wrist as Gobber dragged him off to Gothi, Astrid was just staring at her axe in disbelief, the twins were fighting, and Fishlegs was getting ready to make a run for it.

Astrid asked, "Fishlegs, you were the closer to Hiccup than the rest of us, did you know that he could do that?"

Fishlegs, still stunned, squeaked, "I did not know that anyone could do that, much less Hiccup."
